@SageKnowsAll Seems like you’ve never brought children to church. No that’s not where they want to be. They want to be with their friends, playing video games, watching TV. But like every child should, they are doing what their parents want them to do and they are being typical kids about it.
The decision to appear on camera and deliver the message was Catherine's decision and she wrote the message despite William's reservations. An insider revealed in the papers that Prince William actually questioned :
“Why should she have to explain herself?"🔥
Indeed backlash, speculations and criticism have never phased William. If it was left to him, the press would have had nothing but an official correspondence.
However, Catherine is not a "lilly Flower in the wind", she is a boss at KP and makes decisions. It would have been so easy to throw her staff under the bus for the photoshop; that is what "Good PR" dictated. But Catherine publicly took accountability for the editing because she is a decent and honest human raised to be strong❤️
And so William supported her decision and tasked his private secretary
Ian Patrick, to expedite the process for Catherine.
The Telegraph reported:
"At 3.30pm on Friday, seemingly out of the blue, Kensington Palace notified royal correspondents that it would be holding a briefing just half an hour later relating to the Princess. The message sparked a flurry of activity in newsrooms across London, where editors prepared to tear up existing plans for newspaper and website front pages."🔥
"BBC News was given no advance notice of the announcement by virtue of BBC Studios’ involvement in filming the statement, meaning that its correspondents discovered the news alongside everyone else"🔥
"The White House was informed of the Princess’s diagnosis by British officials shortly before 6pm which is 2pm there. Joe Biden’s press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, arrived at the White House briefing room ready to address the news".
"At home, Prime minister Rishi Sunak was on a visit to the East Midlands when he was informed about the impending statement on the Princess of Wales’s health. Mr Sunak was then briefed after details of the Princess’s statement"🔥
"As is convention, the Cabinet Office went on to inform Sir Keir Starmer about the Princess’s video message that would be broadcast at 6pm that day.
The advance notice gave both men’s teams the opportunity to prepare their own statements expressing warm
support for the Princess and her young family."❤️
So this was the timeline behind the scene. Again, No advance notice was given to the Press. William just sprung it on them because W&C do things on their terms and on their own timeline.
This is the easy access that the Wales have to prime time news as well as the White house, the Prime ministers office and any government really.
So no, they do not need to work with US paparazzis or TMZ🤡
Their priority was and remain their children; not random unemployed ghouls online making money off conspiracy theories, while blaming the Palace "PR fail" for their own bullying of a sick woman🤡
Catherine and William have a stellar reputation as decent human beings with loyalty to the crown and to their family. So the popularity they both enjoy at home and abroad is organic, not manufactured PR. The video announcement has close to 95 Million views and 5 Million likes on Instagram;
102 Million views and over 500K likes on X without including reposts & media channels🔥
When Catherine spoke the whole world stopped to listen then the outpouring of support came from presidents , first ladies, world leaders and officials, A list crlebrities, sports legends and the public...She truly is loved the world over😍
Human decency is the best PR anyone can have. It inspires, impact lives and can change the course of history. Today the Monarchy is more popular than ever because Catherine and William bring a humanity and relatability that charms even people who are not Royalists.
That is why no matter the bitter lemons life throws their way, they continue to overcome as a couple❤️

President Carter's Hymn of choice for Mrs. Carter's Service:
"Let there be peace on Earth and Let it begin with me.”
"Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me;
Let there be peace on earth,
The peace that was meant to be.
With God as our Father
Brothers all are we,
Let me walk with my brother
In perfect harmony.
Let peace begin with me,
Let this be the moment now;
With every step I take,
Let this be my solemn vow:
To take each moment and live each moment
In peace eternally.
Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me.
Thank you President Carter, we send you love today. 💙
Hi @EasternHealthNL can you please give the kind lady in radiology bookings a reward for immense empathy when I burst into tears hearing that I won’t be scheduled for an MRI until 2024. I am serious. Get this woman a raise. @TomOsborneMHA maybe you can track her down! :D
@Reneecam54@StellaParton She said she didn’t give “two craps” then is offended and didn’t stop her husband doing what he did. I’d be embarrassed and mortified by his actions

BREAKING: Canada's inflation rate has risen to 5.1%.
The price of nearly everything is soaring and Canadians are struggling to get by. We need a solution. The Liberals are offering none.
. For me, replace weeks with years. This is horrifying. Also, critically, this is not about vaccines. If it was, why start the protests just as COVID restrictions are being lifted? This is about undermining democracies.
Today’s @DailyGleaner. Not surprised these protesters can’t spell. Sad their irresponsible actions are hurting local businesses and tying up huge police resources. Demo of anti-vax, anti-mandate with some displaying anti-Semitic signs. Real enlightened group #GoHome
